The nanoFAB provides two modes of access - self-service and fee-for-service. In either case, the first step is to create an account in LMACS (Laboratory Management & Access Control System). This is the main portal to access nanoFAB equipment and service.
Once you've created an account, determine which access model you will utilize. It is possible to utilize both models.
Self-Service work
Under this model, users will request training from nanoFAB staff members. Once sufficient competency has been demonstrated , they are free to reserve equipment, and perform self directed work within the centre.
Fee-For-Service work
Under this model, users will request services that will be performed by nanoFAB staff members. There are a number of reasons why one may choose fee-for-service work. This is a common access mode where user's wish to obtain a limited number of, or very specific characterization results which would require time-consuming training. This mode is also very common if a user cannot physically visit the nanoFAB.
